Planting and care

Simply choose a sunny location and plant them in well-draining soil. Although these plants are tolerant of many soil conditions, lantana flowers prefer slightly acidic soil. Mulching with pine needles is an easy way to raise pH levels in areas with low acid.

Sunlight: Full sun

Soil: Well-drained soil.

Water: Moderately

Temperature: 20 to 40 degrees C

Fertilizer: Use any organic fertilizer during the spring and summer seasons.

Caring for Lantana

In warmer climates, you need not need any special winter care, though if you live in a more temperate climate, you should take care to mulch (shredded bark is best) your lantana over the winter and heavily prune in the spring.

In colder areas, lantana should be treated as an annual, as it will not sustain itself over cold winters.

Make sure to place it in an indoor area that gets a lot of natural sunlight.
